Yes, if it isn't judeaphobia, then it is definitely a device to stifle criticism
of Israel(1), (and now it seems critics of anti-zionist jews)

Mr. Greenstein is asking for it to be expunged from the site. That is the same
thing that schillings asked for the Billionaire Bastard. No difference
whatsoever.

What, pray, are "people like Gilad Atzmon"? I do know this, he is often quoted

And once again the need for a network meeting to sort out these political issues
manifests itself.
